A lot of the Port Macquarie air transport is getting passengers, mostly retirees to Sydney and onto international flights
So you reckon Wollongong is much higher up the list as a holiday destination from Melbourne than Port Macquarie? I have my doubts.
And people are no more likely to catch a flight from Wollongong to Melbourne or Brisbane for a weekend getaway or onto international flights than from Port Macq.
So I wouldn't dismiss the similarity to Jetgo's poor results in Port Macq too quickly.
Like I said, it will be interesting to watch.
